At the Selectman's meeting last night Tom Gormley screamed at Elaine Strobel again and refused to let her read her letter into the public record. This town doesn't have to worry about the public behaving "abusively" as some Finance Board members have whined. What was "abusive" was the First Selectman SCREAMING at an elected official and refusing to let her read her letter into the record or to let her see the bills that were being paid with public money.... HERE Finance Bd never really voted on suspending 1st Amendment privileges at future meetings. HERE Does the finance bd. or John Dayton have the right, the intelligence, or the expertise to distinguish between "passionate" and "abusive", between "verbal abuse" and telling John things he doesn't want to hear?
